App

Provides methods to manage application lifecycle.

import { app } from '@mobrowser/api';

Example 

import { app } from '@mobrowser/api';

console.log(app.name)
console.log(app.version)

Properties 

packaged 

readonly packaged: boolean;

Indicates whether the application is packaged (i.e., running in production mode) or running in development mode.

Example 

import { app } from '@mobrowser/api';

if (app.packaged) {
  console.log('Running in production')
}

url 

readonly url: string;

The URL of the application frontend entry point.

It can be different based on whether the application is running in the development or production mode. The value for each mode is configured in the mobrowser.conf.json file in the configurations section.

Example 

import { app, BrowserWindow } from '@mobrowser/api';

const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.browser.loadUrl(app.url)

name 

readonly name: string;

The application name defined in the mobrowser.conf.json file.

version 

readonly version: string;

The application version defined in the mobrowser.conf.json file.

description 

readonly description: string;

The application description defined in the mobrowser.conf.json file.

readonly copyright: string;

The application copyright information defined in the mobrowser.conf.json file.

launchInfo 

readonly launchInfo: LaunchInfo;

Contains information about the application launch, including whether it is the first run and the version that was previously launched.

Example 

import { app } from '@mobrowser/api';

if (app.launchInfo.isFirstRun) {
  console.log('Welcome!')
}

windows 

readonly windows: BrowserWindow[];

An array of all currently open browser windows. This array is updated automatically as windows are created and closed.

Example 

import { app, BrowserWindow } from '@mobrowser/api';

const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.setTitle('MyApp')
app.windows.forEach(win => console.log(win.title))

theme 

readonly theme: Theme;

The current application theme.

Example 

import { app, BrowserWindow } from '@mobrowser/api';

const win = new BrowserWindow()
if (app.theme === 'dark') {
  win.setTitle('App (Dark Mode)')
}

readonly menu: Menu;

The application main menu.

trustedOrigins 

readonly trustedOrigins: string[];

Origins that are allowlisted for automatic permission grants without invoking the requestPermissions handler. This includes the following permissions:

  • camera access
  • display-capture
  • microphone access
  • notifications
  • persistent-storage access
  • clipboard read and write access
  • geolocation access

To grant permissions for additional origins without handling each request, add entries to app.trustedOrigins in mobrowser.conf.json. Each entry must be an origin or hostname pattern up to eTLD+1. For example, "http://foo.com", "http://foo.com:8000", "*.foo.com", "*.foo.*.bar.com", and "http://*.foo.bar.com", but not "*.co.uk", "*.com", or "test.*.com". Hostname patterns must include a wildcard somewhere, so "test.com" alone is not a valid pattern, and wildcards may only replace full hostname components ("test*.foo.com" is not valid).

Example 

"trustedOrigins": [ "https://foo.com", "*.foo.com", "https://*.foo.bar.com" ],

Events 

‘activated’ 

on(event: 'activated', listener: () => void): void;
off(event: 'activated', listener: () => void): void;

Emitted when the application is activated. On macOS, this event can be triggered by various actions, such as clicking the Dock icon or switching to the application using Cmd+Tab. On Windows and Linux, this event is not triggered because these platforms do not have the same concept of application activation.

Example 

import { app, BrowserWindow } from '@mobrowser/api';

app.on('activated', () => {
  if (app.windows.length === 0) {
    const win = new BrowserWindow({
      size: { width: 800, height: 650 },
    })
    win.browser.loadUrl(app.url)
    win.show()
  }
})
